Lot Description

FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION This is a somewhat scarce date in all grades and the present coin borders on the Choice AU grade. Nicely defined design details stand out and the surfaces offer a warm honey gold and accents of original luster. Some minor contact is noted, but nothing distracts from the wholesome naked eye appeal. PCGS 34, NGC 36. Not a grade that is often offered, the last PCGS AU53 sold in auction nearly four years ago! The most recent AU53 was graded by NGC and sold for $3,360 in April 2021, and the present coin appears to be much cleaner. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $4,250. Overall a highly collectible issue in a nice grade and offering a good look. Cert. Number 39688620 PCGS # 8957
